Ottawa Senators ... Lets go

This week I was on PGCon 2007. The conference was located in Ottawa, capital city of Canada. I arrived on Saturday in time when Senators wons its NHL conference. A lot of people celebrated this occasions and lot of cars with the Senators flag run around. During my trip from the airport to University of Ottawa campus I saw of a lot of trees and green areas in the city. The conference started on Monday and I made a decision to visit city down town. University campus is located very close and it takes fifteen, twenty minutes by walk.

Whau... I crossed a bridge over Rideau Canal and first Gothic building appeared. What Gothic building does in Canada? How I read a later it is Victorian Gothic style and it was very popular during 19th century when also Canadian cities growing up and these buildings still stays there ... wonderful, because in many cities in US and Canada old downtown was destroyed and ugly skyscrapers replaced them.

I passed City Hall (It is a modern nice building) and after ten minutes I reached Parliament Hill. It is really beautiful place - Parliament, Peace Tower, Library ... There is also nice view on Ottawa river and Civilization museum building on other side. I strongly recommended to visit this place. Ottawa is nice, quite and clean city. And I hope Ottawa Senators wins Stanley Cup this year.
